But I do want to share something with you...its a comment on the Life in Israel blog...that was just very profound! And has had me thinking greatly since I read it:

But I do want to share something with you...its a comment on the Life in Israel blog...that was just very profound! And has had me thinking greatly since I read it:
To further illustrate this, I'll share with you an incident from one of
Rav Aviner's influences, Rav Mordechai Eliyahu shlita. I had gone to
him (this is in the 80s, before he was Rishon L'tzion) with a question
in halachah. He answered, but I questioned something about the answer.
This went back and forth for a few minutes. Finally the rav says to me
something to effect of 'You asked me what I think, and I am telling
you. You don't have to accept it. When you get before the heavenly
court, they will hold you responsible for what you do. They won't allow
you to excuse yourself by saying 'I only did what the rav told me to.'
If you really have reason to think this isn't correct or applicable,
you have to do what you understand.'
Remember, he was saying this to a 20 something year old guy who (then and now!) doesn't reach his shoe laces in learning! The notion of responsibility never leaves Torah.
